So, as I said, I quit my job. Maybe once, a million years ago, I thought that some place was going to be “so screwed” when I left, but I don’t feel that way now. Life goes on, work gets done, it’s no big deal. But I have to say, I have really mixed feelings about what is going on during my last 2 weeks. I am being replaced by a temporary consultant and two full time positions. The entire organizations project list is being restructured.** I suppose, it would be normal to either not care, or to feel gratified that someone realized I was doing the work of 3 people. But mostly, I feel annoyed. I am going to try to turn this into a learning opportunity about setting priorities.
** Part of this is that the other person that quit the same day I did was my boss. I get that, but really, they are only replacing him with one person.
Megan – I am happy for you and your family and the insights you have gained.
Gee, do you think they realize you were over worked since they have to replace you with three people?
